What's next for Wi-Fi?

摘要

The recent formal approval of the IEEE 802.11n wireless standard marks not the end but the start of a wave of Wi-Fi innovation. In the next three to five years, the Wi-Fi experience will be very different from today.rnThe huge 802.11n performance jump - to 300Mbps data rate and roughly 100M to 150Mbps throughput- will become the basis for unwiring work and life to a greater extent than ever before. You can picture it as a fast-growing archipelago of wireless connectivity, with access points becoming more prevalent, interlinked in meshed clusters, and able to cooperate far more closely with smarter Wi-Fi clients.
